The Mother’s Smile:
Philosophical Formation in the Welcome of Mothers and Friends
From birth, the intimate, face-to-face encounters of life form each
person in a natural, everyday philosophy. Mother’s delighted welcome
invites her tiny child into a fundamental vision of reality and models
flourishing involvement with it. Sustained and matured in the gaze of
certain friends throughout life, seeing oneself being seen with delight
grows a “yes” to the world, a sense of one’s existence, a regard for
others, and a lifelong desire for the face of God. In this modern age
skewed by a philosophy of isolation, suspicion, and critique, returning
to a primal philosophy of welcome brings personal and cultural
healing. It heightens wonder and wisdom, professional and everyday.
And it means that people render profound philosophical service when
they delight in their children and friends.
